Core cup parts
- Rim
- The upper edge of the cup. Diameter is normally measured across this area.
- Cup body
- The main flexible container part of the cup. Product pages may give its length without the stem.
- Stem
- The small extension below the cup body. MonthlyCup’s guide instructs users to release the seal before removal instead of pulling the stem alone.
- Holes
- Small holes near the rim. In MonthlyCup’s published model guide, capacity is listed “to holes”.
Use-related words
- Seal
- The contact formed after insertion. The important source-bound point here is removal language: release the seal before removing, rather than relying on the stem alone.
- Emptying interval
- MonthlyCup instructs users to empty according to flow and no later than 12 hours. This is a manufacturer instruction, not a personal medical schedule.
- Flow
- A personal factor to consider when comparing capacity and model information. A product capacity does not predict an individual’s full experience.
- Preference
- MonthlyCup’s guide frames choice around measurements, individual flow and preferences. It also notes that age or childbirth alone are not a size rule.
Product-page words
- Medical-grade silicone
- MonthlyCup’s Normal Pink product information lists medical-grade silicone. Do not treat that phrase as a stand-in for personalised medical suitability.
- Made in Sweden
- The Normal Pink product information lists manufacture in Sweden. This is a product-origin fact from the manufacturer source.
- Instruction manual
- The Normal Pink product information says the product is supplied with an instruction manual. The supplied instructions should be followed for use and care.
- Storage pouch
- The Normal Pink product information says a fabric storage pouch is supplied. MonthlyCup’s guide also says to dry fully and store with air circulation.
Words that need caution
Some product words can be over-read. “Capacity” should be read with the measurement point. “Size” should not be reduced to age or childbirth. “Support” means product and shopping assistance, not medical care. “Guide” means the manufacturer’s published explanation, not an independent clinical study.
